The Invesco S&P Spin-Off ETF earns a buy rating due to strong price momentum, sector diversity, and a favorable valuation profile. CSD has outperformed major indices, returning 63% YoY, driven by AI-related holdings like SNDK and GEV, and a heavy Industrials overweight. The ETF trades at an 18.4x P/E, a discount to the S&P 500, with a 10.9% long-term EPS growth rate and a PEG below 1.7x.

CSD: A Hold As Soft Risk-Adjusted Returns Overshadow Recent Outperformance
CSD is comprised of U.S. companies that have spun-off from their parent companies over the last four years. Its ER is 0.64% and the ETF has $63 million in AUM. Long-term research provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence suggests investing in spin-offs can substantially outperform the broader market. However, that hasn't translated into solid real-world results. CSD has struggled since its Index change in May 2016, delivering about half the total return of the S&P 500.
